Picked up the wife's wheels today and all I can say is bling bling. This might be enough motivation for the rest of the dark side to think about simular application. I thought for a minute I'd try the rear on the Daytona just to see but Sweet Pea looked at me and said no. Mike |

Good deal Mike! Well, I tore the O-ring on the fuel quick coupling (the male fitting that plugs into the tank). I go down and buy an O-ring, fix it and while plugging it in, I break it. (SHIT) I call triumph to see if they sell just the fitting. (NO) They sell the whole hose (A whole 13" long) with a fitting on it for $85.00. I say bullshit and go down to a fluid connection place and order 3 male fittings for under 10 bux. They also sell the female fitting that screws into the tank plate (same brand) Thought members of the Dark side should know cuz, you never know when accidents loom! Sweet Pea must be happy! In The Rain Forest, Bob Oh ya, check this out. |

Ewilliams, well I sorta did, and didn't. When the CRF came out I just impulsively bought it. Until then I was looking at the WR Yam and the DR Suz. pretty closely. Also the YZ426 Yam. If you ride trails I wouldn't recommend the CRF, its a leggy bastard, and it won't lug. It takes big balls to keep it hot in the tight spots. I plan to add an auto clutch so I can 'granny' over and around the obstacles. If you primarily ride open areas, or fire roads, the CRF is perfect! It rips! Paul |

Dave, Yes they are the ones! But I am getting mine localy for 4.00 bux a piece. These Motorcycle Manufacures really like to put the screws to us dont they? In The Rain Forest, Bob |

Dave, pretty much any Hose/Fluid (where they make up Hydraulic lines) has fittings or access to ordering any fitting made on planet Earth. It's like buying a Bearing for a certain application Your paying for "The Name" and not the product. When purchasing Bearings and such, if it has a part #, chances are there at your local speicialty shop for way under the asking price from a dealer. In The Rain Forest, Bob |

Hey Mike, check out the pic Bob posted above. That belt would save you hours of polish'n on Sweet Pea's wheels, and it'd be one less chain I'd have to listen to next summer. Maybe that belt set up is cheaper by the dozen. We could put all the riders from "the dark side" on the Quiet Drive. Kind of an eco-freindly.......ahh never mind. Chris |

Kimberly, Sweet Pea looks awesome with the polished wheels. Let's see Bob match that. Chris |

Sorry Bob, Sweet Pea is a little camera shy (aka damn printer won't read the card). But I have to agree with Chris, she is pretty cute! She has a soft shiny exterior but we all know on the inside she is a pistol! (well at least when Mike rides her). Working in the Southern Down Pour Forrest! Geez Bob & Deb we are feeling your love today! Kimberlie |

My wife wants to know....... If your riding 100mph in the forest, and there's no cop to write you a ticket, does that mean you're not really speeding? Bob, Where oh where did you find the above belted pic? My belt fetish is kick'n in big time! |

Bob, you are my hero, man. If a tree falls in the woods and there's nobody around to hear it, does it make a sound? If you're going 100 and nobody stops you, are you breaking any kinda law? Hell no! If a man speaks his mind and his wife doesn't hear, is he still wrong? Hell yes! I am hearby devoting myself to the philosophy of BOB. Instead of having W.W.J.D on my jacket, I'm sewing on retro-reflective "W.W.B.D" on the back of my Joe Rockets, "What Would Bob Do?" Let me know if anybody else wants a set for their back. You da man, Bob, You da Man! |

Well Shit, (looking all im-Bare-asses) I'll go fer some a that on my jacket!(in my best James Bond) Shotgun, Ya, I dabble in philosophy in my spare time. What with being a self proclaimed master of all that is Motorcycle and an active amature gynocologist. Here is a question to ponder. If a Sheep's a Ram and a Donkey's an Ass, Why's a Ram in the Ass a Goose? One of lifes perplexing questions! In The Rain Forest, Bob |

BoooooB! Wheeerrrreee did you get the belt picture???? I want one! Don't tell no one....shhhhhh!! I'm also wondering if anyone on this side or the other side of the border would be interested in a long ride maybe on Vancouver Island late in September when I get back from Alaska? Maybe three or four days if the weather holds. Let me know.... |

If you live in a condo, does that mean you live in a rubber house? Lost and confused on the dark side..... |
